High impact information on vapE

  • Notably, the CFS contained the previously characterized proteins VapC, VapD, and VapE, which are encoded by genes on the R. equi virulence plasmid [1].
  • In this report we show that the ORF13-protein coded by the virulence associated plasmid of R. equi is clearly homologous to VapE [2].
  • A theoretical extension of the sequence of ORF13 by the introduction of a single nucleotide yields a translated amino acid sequence that is highly homologous to VapE and other members of the Vap family [2].
